Abstract
An image forming system includes a user terminal, a plurality of image forming apparatuses, and a document management server. The document management server: randomly determines the image forming apparatus as the spool destination of the print job and notifies the user terminal of the image forming apparatus when the document management server receives the print job information from the user terminal for the first time; and notifies the user terminal of the previously used image forming apparatus as the spool destination of the print job when the document management server receives the print job information from the user terminal at or after the second time. The image forming apparatus that has accepted a login request from a user confirms the spool destination of the print job determined by the document management server, reads the print job from the spool destination, and executes a printing process.
